Dead Can Dance Library

of the Obscure and Bootleg
[21] Lyrics
This section lists lyrics for many Dead Can Dance, Lisa Gerrard, Brendan Perry songs. I have tried to format them vaguely like they lyrics are formated in the records/cds they came from. in some cases the lyrics in one release varies from the lyrics, or at least the formating, in another. Sometimes I have included these two formats/version. Sometimes not. Brendan likes to modify lyrics as time goes, so his newest works, heard during the 2005 tour, have no "official" lyrics yet...
